LANDOVER, Md. – Thea LaFond and Chioma Onyekwere each won two events for the University of Maryland Saturday at the Terrapin Invitational indoor track and field meet held at the Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex.

LaFond, the reigning national women’s performer of the week by the USTFCCCA, won the 60-meter hurdles (8.71) and long jump (20 feet, 2.50 inches) on Saturday, She captured the high jump and triple jump a week ago at the Penn State Relays, giving her four victories in four different events in two weeks.

Onyekwere won both throwing events for the Maryland women. She captured her second shot put (49-2.25) competition in as many weeks and also won the 20-pound weight throw (57-1.50).

The eight victories among the 18 events pushed the Terrapins to a comfortable win in the team competition. Maryland finished with 170 points, well ahead of Navy’s 111 and UMBC’s 86.

Melville's win in the women's high jump came at 6-0, as she matched her indoor career-best in her first competition of the 2014 season. Melville, the reigning ACC Indoor champion, is one of only three women in school history to clear 6-0. Teammate Amina Smith was second at 5-10.75.

Although Maryland’s men’s team is not officially sponsored during the indoor season, the Terrapin men also had strong showings on Saturday.

Freshman Dahri Jahn-Richardson won the 600-meter run in 1:25.01, just 1/100th of a second better than teammate Terrence Maliff. Senior Josh Haghighi won the 35-pound weight throw at 63-2.75, a career-best and the second-best toss all-time at Maryland.

Johns Hopkins held off Howard for the men’s team title, 117-114. Coppin State, which had Shane Green get wins in the long jump and triple jump, was third with 104.
